WIND AND HORROR OUT WEST.
Buildings Demolished by a Cyclone
Fatal Lightning.

MILWAUKEE, Wis, July lS.-Waupaca, a
town of about 1900 inhabitants. the county
seat of Waupaca county, was the scene Of a
terrible cyclone last evening, which caused
heavy damage to property, but fortunately
was unattended by loss of life The day
had been an intensely hot one; in fact. the
hottest ever recorded in the State. the tenn
perature ranging from $50 to 1909 in the
shade. Towards o'clock heavy black
clouds began to gather in the southwest, and
in the course of a few minutes had deyeloped
in well-defned cyclone. 1t came crashing
along at great speed, and was accompanied
by thunder and lightning. The terrified
people of the town sought safety In cellars
and in the more substantial brick buildings
where they remained during the few min
utes that the tornado lasted. In less time
than 1t takes to write 1t, the Opera House.
two hotels, church and numerous private
houses were either totally or partially
wrecked. The Opera House was mass of
ruins.
The steeple of the Episcopal church was
blown down and sent crashing into the in
terror of the edifice, the walls of which
were alone left standing. The two hotels of
the place, both medium-sized structures,
were unr0ofed and the interiors drenehed
with the pouring rain. The guests were
panlc-Strlcken, ana he'd lntOathe streets to
escape the flying timbers
1t was almost a miracle that no enc was
either killed or even injured. To add to the
terror and confusion the Curran House,
while the cyclone was at its height, was
struck by lightning.
The list of residences unr0ofed and par
TALLY demolished is long one, and the
amount of losses sustained, while not large
in individual cases, is very heavy in the
aggregate. Some of the owners whose prop
erty was damaged have tornado policies, but
as the city was not considered subject to
this kind of visitation the number of those
who had insurance of the kind was compara-
lively small. The total damage in the town
and vicinity will not be far from 100000.
The cyclone passed over large area Of
country, and farmers suffered severely in the
loss of crops and buildings.
AT Wausan many buildings were unroofed
and thousands of dollars worth of damage
was done at Depere, some % miles northeast
from Waupaca. The damage was equally
great, and Frank Tuyes, gardener. was
struck by lightning and killed. At Ostran-
der large factory was demolished. The
country traversed by the storm is not easily
reached by telegraph, and the details of the
damage done come in slowly. 1t is con-
sidered very probable that a number Of lives
were lost

RAILWAY MATTERS.

THE RUSH TO SHORE AND MOUNTAINS.
The managers Of the Boston & Maine and
Lowell railroads say that the volume of
summer travel thus far this season has been
great beyond precedent Provision had been
made for large increase in business, but the
rush has much exceeded the anticipations,
and all the roads have been compelled to use
all their transportation resources. Travel
east has been particularly heavy. The Mt
Desert limited vestibule train has been
a great success, and 1t has been neces-
sary for the Pullman Company to rush
to completion four more of those magnificent
cars to add to the trains on this route. 1t is
found that these trains, in spite of the high
rate of speed at which they are run, move
with less jar and greater comfort than even
the parlOr cars ON slower trains, and travel
ers fully appreciate this fact. Prompt
schedule time over the whole 200 miles run Is
made every day. The York Beach branch
of the Boston 4 Maine from Kittery will be
opened August l, and already many people
are seeking quarters at that delightful spot
on the Maine coast. Nearly all the large
hotels at the mountains are full and Bar
Harbor is crowded with visitors.
THE coLEBRooK RAILWAY.
A despatch from Colebrook, N. H., says:
At public meeting held at the Town Hall
here Saturday afternoon, for the purpose Of
raising the balance of the 1000 necessary
to insure the building of the standard gauge
road by Messrs Frank Jones, Charles Sim
clair and G. Vandyke, the needed sum was
quickly secured. There was a large attend
ance, the people gathering for this purpose
from Connecticut Lake, Pittsburg, Stewards
town, Canaan, Columbia and other places.
Much enthusiasm prevailed. j. III. Dudley,
Esq, chairman of the meeting, and Mr..
Vandyke said that they should commence to
break ground previous to Aug. 1, and cars
would be running to Colebrook October Is.
The surveyors are already at work, and be-
yond any doubt we shall have railroad facili-
ties in this section soon.
GREEN MOUNTAIN RAILROAD.
The Railroad Commissioners will this week
make an inspection of the Green Mountain
(Mt. DESERT railroad, and will also meet in
Portland ON Thursday to consider the new
location Of the tracks of the Maine Central
railroad across Congress and Portland streets
in order that trains may be run into the new
union station now being erected.

The Late Railroad Disaster.

ST. THOMAS, Ont, July ISth.-The re-
mains of all the victims of the recent rail-
road disaster have been identified. The re-
mains of Mrs. Smiter and child were taken
to Toronto Sunday morning. Those of Mrs.
John Sayness and three children were re-
moved to London Saturday night The fun
erals of five other victims took place yester
day and were largely attended. The ply
sicians in charge report all doing well ex-
cept Mrs. Zeal whose condition is very criti-
cal. 1t is now known that from $50 to 200
persons were injured by the explosion. The
physicians offices and apotheeary shops are
crowded with patients, and many persons
are seen on the streets having their heads,
necks or hands bandaged. The extreme hot
weather Of yesterday tended to increase the
suffering of the injured, but the cool weather
of to-day brought much relief.

An Important Decision.

The commissioner of patents rendered an
important decision in the case of application
which the words knights of Labor and
*. of L." distillery appear. The commits
sioner states that is no pretepse that the
manufacturers of this particular brand of
whiskey who seek to register the trade mark
with them or under their auspices vet dis
tinctive marks point to this labor organiza-
tion or to members as class as the original
ownership of the article to which il is
appliedll lin other words the proposed trade
mark is in the nature of a false representa-
tion and deception as to the general public,
possibly inducing them to purchase an article
under the belief that it is manufactured by a
society in which they have a friendly in
terest. The commissioner therefore on
grounds of false pretenses of such trade
mark refuses its registration.

Three women on the veranda of house near

Mr.. Luce. State superintendent Of schools,
expresses himself well satisfied with the re-
suit Of the Normal School commencements
this year. The addition to the ranks of
Maine school teachers this year is considera-
BILE. Gorham sent out 3S, Castine "a, and
Pennington So; total of ITO. Twenty-Five
Of these are young men; all the rest are
young ladies. Since their establishment
these Normal Schools have sent out a good
sized regiment of teachers, 1850 in all. The
graduates are under obligation to teach in
Maine two years after they graduate, that Is,
in preference to teaching in any other State.
IL Normal graduate thinks she had rather
go into some other business, do nothing at
all, or get married than to teach, the State
Of Maine will not complain. As a matter Of
fact, it is not probable that very large pro-
portion Of the graduates go to other States.
Last year nearly 600 were teaching in Maine.
This was rather more than half of what
had graduated at that time.

GREAT IcEeERcs.
These Visitors from the Arctic un-
usually Numerous.

WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Reports received
by the United States photographic Office
here indicate that this summer an unusually
large number of great icebergs have drifted
very much farther to the southwark than
they usually appear. In the past six weeks
more than forty have been reported. Capt
Baker of the Dutch steamer w. A. Scholten
mentions passing one ON his trip westward
that was 200 feet above the water and would
have covered 100 acres at its base. As about
one-eighth of the berg is above the surface
Of the sea, the depth can be easily calculated.
Captain Brockel -of, the 6ftsAh German
steamef-Ad6lf reports that on his last voyage
to America he passed three great icebergs,
one $50 feet high and the others at least 100
An English captain saw the largest one Of
the year last week. Captain Campbell of
the steamer st. Romans passed an iceberg or
series Of them, two miles long and 800 feet
above the ocean at the highest point. This
was in latitude 460, almost in the track of the
passenger steamers between New York and
Liverpool and only 240 miles farther north
than the latitude of Washington.

FIND WATERY GRAVES.
Seven Persons Drowned in New York
Harbor.

New YORK, July IS During the squall in
the harbor yesterday the yacht Tough of
this city was sailing near Staten Island.
Those on board saw another yacht with five
occupants go over. The Tough's crew were
unable to render any aid until it was too
late: and the five men were drowned. Their
names have not yet been ascertained. Jacob
Scheverstein and his nine year old son of
Brooklyn, occupying cat boat, were over
taken by the squall in Canarse Bay and
both were drowned. Three young men and
three young women were cut rowing when
the squall came up and eapsized the boat,
throwing its occupants into the water Miss
Tice, a girl of fourteen, saw the party strug-
Cling in the water, and called to John Wood
to accompany her. They both jumped into
yawl, and after few vigorous strokes came
up to the drowning party and rescued them.
At 4.10 a. IN. the steamer Columbia arrived
at her dock in Brooklyn on her return trip
from Rockaway. 1t was reported that she
had been capsized in the lower bay. Her
passengers are all safe.

The Bath Times says it is gratifying that
the loss by Fridays fire is much smaller than
first estimated while the excitement was on.
The figures by different members of the New
England Shipbuilding Company are vari-
ously placed, and range from $4,000 to s7S.-
900. Probably $4,000 comes as near as pos
sible to the true loss. The company blames
the fire department for tardiness. As soon
as possible rebuilding of the vessels de-
stroyed will begin, probably in three weeks
or as soon as material for the same can be OBJ
tanned Some of the buildings burned will
be replaced at once.
